The assortment of far-left and establishment groups in
the “Coalition Against Hate” includes two groups associated with Hillary
Clinton’s campaign chief operative John Podesta, plus pro-illegal immigration
groups, such as the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational
Fund (MALDEF) plus the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which was
an unindicted
co-conspirator in an anti-Semitic, jihad-funding operation.

MALDEF, which was formed in 1967 with funding almost
exclusively by The Ford Foundation, has been called by
author David Horowitz a group which “no longer draws a
distinction between legal and illegal immigrants.”

Other members of the 55-member hate coalition include the
Brennan
Center for Justice, CHIRLA, Color of Change, Common Cause, GLAAD, Matthew
Shepard Foundation, National Immigration Law Center, and the Southern
Poverty Law Center(SPLC).
These groups are suppressing their own rivalries — such as Islam’s
hatred of gays — to unite against Americans.

The group lays out their “mission” on their website,
under the guise of stopping what they refer to as “hate speech.” That “hate
speech” term helps them stigmatize rival opinions and ideas that the left
rejects, even as the group ignores the hatred by fellow progressives towards
President-elect Donald Trump and his supporters.

Our mission is to #breakhate by elevating the voices of
the impacted and hold purveyors of hate speech accountable. As the Coalition
Against Hate, we will encourage media platforms to abandon hate speech as a
profit model and bring civil discourse back to the public square. We will
expose purveyors of hate speech and those that use multiple media platforms to
amplify their hateful rhetoric. We have a responsibility to speak out against
hate speech and demonstrate to our communities and our children that words have
meaning. We will also promote positive portrayals to illustrate that our
diversity is what makes communities flourish.

This trend is fortified by media outlets such as the New York
Times, which has a new, regular section by the Editorial Board
called This
Week in Hate, where it says, “The editorial board tracks hate crimes
and harassment around the country since the election of Donald Trump.”

The Times had no such column regularly tracking
the crimes and harassment spread by Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and
various college groups during the Obama administration.

The coalition said it will warn of the dangers of using
the “alt-right” label to describe what it said is actually white supremacy, and
that it will take issue with Trump appointees and staffers.

The candidate himself has broad-brushed Mexican
immigrants as rapists and Muslims as potential terrorists and his tapping of
Stephen Bannon of the Breitbart News site drew a firestorm of criticism from
those who see that site, and Bannon, as facilitating hate speech

The Civil Rights Department of the Council on
American-Islamic Relations works to protect and extend the civil liberties
guaranteed primarily by the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution. We take
requests for legal help for civil rights matters.

The irony of the Coalition’s positions against “hate” is
made clear by a tweet supporting #BreakHate from Hussam Ayloush, the Executive
Director of the Los Angeles chapter of CAIR and part of CAIR nationally.

In December, Ayloush had been quoted by the Coalition Against
Hate’s Twitter account:

The Coalition has not commented on Ayloush’s statement.

Breitbart has frequently noted that the CAIR group is so
closely entwined with Islamists and with
jihadis that court documents and news reports show that at least
five of its people — either board members, employees, or former employees —
have been jailed or repatriated for
various
financial and terror-related
offenses.

Breitbart has also published evidence
highlighted by critics showing that CAIR
was named an unindicted co-conspirator
in a Texas-based criminal effort to deliver $12 million to the Jew-hating HAMAS
jihad group, that CAIR was founded with $490,000
from HAMAS, and that the FBI bans top-level meetings with CAIR
officials. “The FBI policy restricting
a formal relationship with CAIR remains … [but] does not preclude communication
regarding investigative activity or allegations of civil rights violations,”
said an Oct. 2015 email from FBI spokesman Christopher Allen.

In 2009, a federal judge concluded that “the government
has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR…
with Hamas.”

At the same time Europeans are exhibiting a renewed interest in
exercising their right to self-defense, the European Parliamentand European Councilhave
come to an agreement to place new restrictions on civilian access to firearms.
On December 20, the European Commission and European Council confirmed that a
compromise on significant changes to the European Firearms Directive was
reached. The new agreement pares down the European Commission’s initial
proposal to severely restrict civilian ownership of semi-automatic firearms,
however, other oppressive measures remain.

As we’ve reported previously,
following the November 13, 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, the EU expedited
plans for new gun restrictions when on November 18, 2015 the European
Commission adopted plans to change the European Firearms Directive.
The changes would set a new minimum gun controlthreshold
that EU member states would be required to meet by enacting domestic
legislation. Among the worst changes, the wide-ranging initial draft of the new
directive threatened a broad ban semi-automatic firearms and included onerous
new licensing requirements.

The initial proposal, particularly the provisions restricting civilian
ownership of semi-automatic rifles, was met with significant hostility from several
EU Member States. States such as Finland and
Switzerland (not an EU member, but subject to certain EU legislation), that
have a strong tradition of citizen participation in their national defense
strategies, expressed concern about the implications that restrictions would
have for their defense capabilities, or in the case of Switzerland, that the
new measures could disarm veterans of their
service rifles. Other member states with vibrant shooting cultures
and robust firearms manufacturing, such as Germany, Italy, the
Czech Republic, and
Poland, also resisted the proposed legislation’s most onerous provisions.

The most significant change between the European Parliament and European
Council agreement and the initial European Commission proposal is how the
directive treats semi-automatic firearms. Initially, the European Commission
proposed to reclassify Category B7 firearms, which are “Semi-automatic firearms
for civilian use which resemble' weapons with automatic mechanisms,” as
Category A firearms, which would have made them subject to the same controls as
fully-automatic firearms and prohibited them from civilian ownership. The
European Commission also expressed a desire to ban magazines with a capacity
greater than 10 rounds.

While the exact language of the European Parliament and European Council
compromise has not been made public, the European Commission
has released a summary of the agreement’s provisions on semi-automatic
firearms. Rather than placing all Category B7 firearms into Category A, the
directive will now ban the following types of semi-automatic firearms for
civilian ownership:

·automatic firearms which have been converted
into semi-automatic firearms;

·short firearms which allow the firing of more
than 21 rounds without reloading, if a loading device with a capacity exceeding
20 rounds is part of the firearm or a detachable loading device with a capacity
exceeding 20 rounds is inserted into it;

·long firearms which allow the firing of more
than 11 rounds without reloading, if a loading device with a capacity exceeding
10 rounds is part of the firearm or a detachable loading device with a capacity
exceeding 10 rounds is inserted into it;

·semi-automatic long firearms (i.e. firearms that
are originally intended to be fired from the shoulder) that can be reduced to a
length of less than 60cm without losing functionality by means of a folding or
telescoping stock or by a stock that can be removed without using tools;

In a press release that accompanied announcement of the
agreement, the European Commission
lamented that the revised directive does not restrict semi-automatic firearms
as they had originally proposed. The European Commission noted,

the Commission regrets that some parts of the original
proposal were not supported by the Parliament and the Council. The Commission
had proposed a greater level of ambition with a complete ban of the most
dangerous semi-automatic firearms, including all semi-automatic firearms of the
AK47 or AR15 families and a ban of assault weapons for private collectors. The
Commission also regrets that the magazine size was not limited to 10 rounds for
all semi-automatic firearms.

This is a welcome departure from how the European
Commission’s proposed changes to the European Firearms Directive treated
semi-automatic firearms, however, other alarming portions of the initial draft
of the changes to the directive appear to be intact.

Among the most onerous of these provisions is one requiring EU states to
require firearm license holders to submit to a medical examination as a
condition of licensure. Making clear that this provision survived the new
compromise, in their summary of the agreement, the European Commission noted
that, “In the future, all Member States will have to put in place a system of
medical check for the authorisation to acquire firearms.” Other restrictions
involving the online acquisition of firearms and ammunition, and information
sharing provisions that implicate the privacy rights of European gun owners
also remain intact.

Now that a compromise has been reached between the European Parliament and the
European Council the next step in the convoluted EU legislative
process for the proposed changes to the European Firearms Directive
will occur when the European Parliament’s Committee on Internal Market and
Consumer Protection formally approves the text of the legislation, which is set
for January. Following this action, the entire European Parliament is set to vote on the legislation in
March.

"This is the real task before us: to reassert our commitment as a nation to a law higher than our own, to renew our spiritual strength. Only by building a wall of such spiritual resolve can we, as a free people, hope to protect our own heritage and make it someday the birthright of all men." --Ronald Reagan

A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."-- Edward Abbey

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."John Stuart Mill

INTEGRITY: The highest courage is to dare to be ourself in the face of adversity. Choosing ethics over convenience and truth over popularity means there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They may be more likely to go to Heaven for good intentions yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.~ C. S. Lewis
